When baking cookies, you will
get the best results if you use a
flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.
OR
Convection Roast
I
Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Meat and poultry are browned on all
sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. Heated air will be circulated
over, under and around the food being
roasted. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven,
check to see if your cookware leaves
room for air circulation in the oven.
If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended
for use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F
(200°C) can also be used.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Press the Convection Bake pad
or the Convection Roast pad.
Press the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
Press the Start pad.
To change the oven temperature, press
the Convection Bake or Convection Roast
pad and then the number pads to set

When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and
grid designed for broiling for best
convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills and the grid is
used to prevent grease spatters.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
I
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
I
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.
When the oven starts to heat, the
changing temperature, starting at 100°F
(approx. 40°C), will be displayed. When
the oven reaches the temperature you
set, 3 beeps will sound.
Press the Off pad when finished.
I
You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door
is opened, but the heat will not turn off.
I
You may hear the oven clicking during baking.
This is normal.
